Our Boys’ Torrentshell Jacket offers H2No™ Performance Standard protection that’s durable, lightweight and versatile. To handle all manner of inclement weather, the 2.5-layer recycled nylon jacket is fully taped and has a waterproof/breathable barrier, a DWR (durable water repellent) finish and a full-length waterproof zipper with internal storm flap. Additional protection comes from the multipanel, stay-put hood, which has an elasticized gusset under the brim for a protective fit; cuffs that adjust with hook-and-loop closures; the zipper has a reflective pull. Two handwarmer pockets and snapped chest pocket stash treasures.

Recycled Nylon

Although we’ve been using recycled polyester in our garments for 20 years, for some reason locked deep in polymer chemistry, nylon is more difficult to recycle than polyester. After years of research, development, and testing, we’re finally finding some recycled nylon fibers that are suitable for apparel.

Some of the recycled nylon we use comes from post-industrial waste fiber, yarn collected from a spinning factory, and waste from the weaving mills that can be processed into reusable nylon fiber.

We’re diligently searching for a success story with recycled nylon. The challenge lies ahead of us, and we’re committed to discovering the best methods to recycle nylon fiber, but it appears this evolution will take many years.

2.5-layer H2No™ Performance Standard shell fabrics are coated with DWR
(durable water repellent) fabric finish that repels light rain and snow. In conjunction with a waterproof/breathable barrier, the DWR finish keeps the outer fabric from becoming saturated so that the breathable barrier can do its job.

All products bearing the H2No mark have been vigorously tested for durability in our 24 Killer Wash.
